The Store at Grant Design Collaborative Featured in October Issue of Metropolis
06 October 2009 - The Store at Grant Design Collaborative will be featured in Metropolis magazine's upcoming October issue. As part of the international architecture and design publication's feature on "Retail Strategies for a Tough Economy," the article touches upon the company's philosophy and thoughts on opening the Store. According to Grant Design Collaborative President and Creative Director Bill Grant, the shop is "a laboratory for feedback on the products we create. It also brings all our disciplines – graphic, product and interior design – together." The publication is scheduled to hit newsstands on October 8th. Metropolis covers all aspects of design—from architecture to interior design, products to wayfinding, landscape design to urban planning—for an audience of design professionals.

In other Store news, Grant Design Collaborative has joined other designers from across the country in new online retail venue, the Felt & Wire Shop.
